Hi Gary :) Hmm, no, that is not what i said at all. You seem to decide what i am going to say before reading my post and then ignore anything i say that contradicts what you decided. Still, at least that makes it easier for you to criticise what you decided i said.
As for the voracity of Ed Bott and cronies 'articles' they seem to be quick to point out the 1 or 2 bits of malware that surface every few years against Mac (which generally gets patched quite quickly) while completely ignoring the thousands of similar threats against Windows. Would a similar threat out in the wild even get reported if it brought Windows machines down? Obviously not, because it happens so often in Windows that people would be bored of hearing about them.

You keep promoting earlier versions of Java, I guess you've not heard what happened to Apple for not updating their Java versions: <https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5228> <<http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57410476-37/apples-security-code-of-silence-a-big-problem/>> <http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/04/14/apples-flashback-fixes-three-belts-and-a-pair-of-suspenders/?iid=HP_LN> -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
